Hi there I have 2 PCs both running Vista Ultimate. One PC is wirelessly connected to a router, the other PC is wired direct to the router, which is a gateway to a cable modem to my ISP. I can share my wireless PC's files , however i cannot share my wired PC's files to the wireless PC. It can only see the share "icon" in the "Network" window. When double clicking it i get a message saying "Windows cannot access \\xxxxxx. Check the spelling etc.." Its odd that i can view/copy/etc one way but not the other. Both PC's are setup identically, on private network, with network discovery, file sharing and public folder sharing ON, the rest OFF. The shares on both PCs are available to "Administrator" and both PCS are logged in as Administrator. |

Hi Fred. 1. Shut down both PC's 2. Restart the router 3. Power up both PC's (now the router will only hold one entry for each computer and no other confusing information) 4. Make sure Network Discovery and File sharing is turned in Network and Sharing Center on both PC's 5. Temporary disable the firewall on both PC's check if you have two way communication. 6. If yes 7. Turn on one Firewall and check again 8. If yes 9. Turn on the other Firewall If you get a failure using \\RemotePc do an ipconfig on the pc you are trying to access (RemotePc) and note the ipaddress and try \\ipaddress and see if it fails that way also. If it fails let me know where it failed HTH Dave "fred" <fred@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CCBF9830-0E7B-4962-B401-73E2D9DC0D88@microsoft.com... > Hi there > > I have 2 PCs both running Vista Ultimate.
